HODDESDON CAMERA CLUBANNUAL "IMAGE OF THE YEAR " AWARDThis award is to be held each year during the Christmas Social evening in December for all images that have qualified throughout the year. These images may be prints or slides but will all be displayed as prints on the evening. Images will qualify to be in the competition in one of two ways.These two ways are: The image must have been awarded a 10 mark in one of the Slide & Print competitions during the calendar year OR the image must have won one of the other competitions during the calendar year, i.e. Landscape, Natural History, Coastal, Chairman’s Trophy & Monochrome.

Please note that this competition is relevant to the calendar year and not the club “season”. All of the images that qualify will be displayed on the night with a serial number & title and everybody who attends the evening (members & guests) will be given a voting slip to be completed and placed in a ballot box. Towards the end of the evening the ballot box will be opened, the votes will be announced one by one, and these votes will be recorded live on the screen so that all present can see the voting as it unfolds. The top three will be announced in reverse order and the trophy will be presented to the winner.

This award is an annual event and is intended to reflect the very best images that have been seen in all the club competitions throughout the year.
